Pulmonary Hypertension in a Patient With Kartagener's Syndrome and a Novel Homozygous Nonsense Mutation in CCDC40 Gene: A Case Report.
Article in Frontiers in medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Kartagener's syndrome is a subgroup of primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD), a genetically heterogeneous condition characterised by sinusitis, bronchiectasis, and situs in versus. Genetic testing has importance for their diagnosis. Here, we report a chinese patient with Kartagener's syndrome. Transthoracic echocardiography showed severely elevated right ventricular systolic pressure. Right heart catheterisation demonstrated a pre-capillary pulmonary hypertension. Whole-exome sequencing indicated that she had a novel homozygous nonsense mutation, c.2845C > T, p.Gln949*, in exon 18 of CCDC40 and a heterozygotic mutation, c.73G > A, p.Ala25Thr, in exon 1 of DNAH11. She was diagnosed as Kartagener's syndrome with pulmonary hypertension. Her symptoms improved significantly by treatment of antibiotics, expectorant drugs, bronchodilators, and oxygen therapy treatment. Our findings extend the mutation spectrum of CCDC40 gene related Kartagener's syndrome, which is very important for gene diagnosis of the disease.
